Time to look back at the glory that was Smash Hits magazine. Posters, lyrics and a free badge please... #FridayFeeling

Smash Hits was created by ex-NME editor Nick Logan and launched as a monthly magazine in September 1978, with Belgian new-waver Plastic Bertrand on the cover.

The monthly format only lasted a few issues however: sales were phenomenal and Smash Hits soon switched to fortnightly publication.

As it's #WorldPhotographyDay let's look back at the pioneering work of Albert Witzel, portrait photographer to the Hollywood stars of the silent age...

Albert Witzel was born in Deadwood in 1879. In 1886 he started work in George Stekel’s California photography studio.

Learning his craft from Steckel, Albert Witzel went on to open his own portrait photography studio in 1902 in Los Angeles.

Manufacturing & quality issues are some of the proximate causes of drug shortages. Availability of raw materials; unexpected increases in demand, i.e. due to illness outbreaks or changes in clinical practice; or unavailability of other drugs in a class also can lead to a shortage

We’ve seen # of new drug shortages steadily decline due to work by FDA, industry and others. In 2017, we worked w/ manufacturers to prevent 145 shortages. There were still 35 new shortages last year, but this compared to peak of 251 new shortages in ‘11 bit.ly/2JiNGpf

IMPORTANT UPDATES ABOUT PUERTO RICO: Hundreds of nurses are pouring in to help and they are reporting terrible conditions across the largely destroyed island. Is urgent that we SHARE this THREAD to raise awareness of what’s still happening. Please don’t forget about #PuertoRico

Nurses are reporting “still not water or electricity in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico since Maria.” Nurses have set up a clinic at a FEMA site and I’m quoting here “This was also FEMA’s first day there,” this is a report of today folks! Nearly 3weeks after hurricane!

I can't stress this enough folks! This nurses are leaving their children & families, taking their vacation time to go help our brothers & sisters in #PuertoRico they'll have no water, no electricity & no roof over their heads for weeks! This is a true humanitarian crisis.
